HireClub
Career coaching for all of us
Added features to reduce churn (a lite plan) and improved coaching switching so people have better matches if the first one doesn't work out.
We also did events in 2 new cities which gets more users interested and did a lot more posts this month with content.
$124,000 was this year alone. Since we incorporated in June 2017 we have been trying to find Product Market Fit. Early numbers are really great, we are accelerating growth by doing more events, moving more of our community on to our own site and still having a great Facebook group.

I really love the idea but once the candidate gets a job then they have to churn, yeah? Your churn % must be incredibly high...
-

Nope, once a user hits goals, we focus on the next ones. While churn can always improve in any startup, we have reduced 50% in the last few months.

We just paid my and my co-founder's salary with the profit. Our salaries aren't large but it pays all my living expenses.
-
29% growth since May 2019.
126 total subscribers.
Still no ads. All community and word of mouth growth.
We focused on bottom of funnel, improving service last few months and quality is paying off.
We did a few in person events and shared our client successes in our Facebook group.
Our newsletter is also taking off as well.
With Subscriptions, Single sessions and events, we finally crossed $20k in monthly revenue!

Congratulations!
I am curious to know, what kind of industry professionals request for coaches? Do you have software developers as subscribers?
-

Yes we do! It's actually really broad, everything from founders, moms returning to work, developers, designers, PMs.

What does your internal chat tool look like? Are the mentors and mentee using Slack to communicate or you built your own chat system?

We built our own chat system.

Thank you for your response. Out of the $20k MRR, how much is from jobs posting?
-
1
From companies paying to post jobs? Barely any.

Wow! So everything came from coaching. I thought job seekers don't have money to pay for coaching. Do you have customers that are not unemployed?
-
1
Coaching isn't just for job seekers. It's for people seeking to get ahead in their careers. We have had unemployed customers and we have found them meaningful work.

Congratulations! Did you run any ads?
-

We tried google ads and honestly they didn't do so great for us. We spent about $2k in April and didn't see much results. That could be as the result of poor tracking as well. But our group/email/community does so much better for growth.

Congrats brother. Just curious, I love your site design but how did you get such a cool domain?
Built with ROR, did you code the site yourself? More practical then going with typical Wordpress?
Great job brother, keep it up!
-

We owned the .co for years and purchased the .com a few years ago. Yes it's Rails I've designed/coded the majority of the site. I cannot imagine the hell that is Wordpress for building an actual product but hey if it works, it works.

Congrats !! what I find so inspiring and awesome is that you dropped 3k on the domain name! which means you had full conviction and faith that you can make it happen before the idea was even born, and then you actually made it happen!
hats off and onward to exponential growth :)-

The name was around long before the product. It was just a side project and I never spent money on it. Once we found revenue, then I invested.

Big milestone, right on man! Love the website design, super clean. Also your domain name is 🔥 how'd you manage to grab such a good .com?
-
1
Thanks, I think the design needs a lot of work lol. We paid $3k for the domain name a few years ago. Original price was $6k.

typical founder, never satisfied haha i know the feeling, going through a site design rn and just want everything to be pixel perfect. That's actually a steal for the name!
-
2
we iterate constantly vs trying to be pixel perfect. Probably why I'm never happy enough. But I do appreciate your kind words.

Wow we were struggling to get over this hump for months with high churn. But this month are blasting off!
